CAUTION
●
When charging the vehicle, make sure you observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so can cause an electric shock that may result in death
or serious injury.
• Check that the electrical receptacle, charging cable and charging port
do not have any areas that are damaged.
• Check that there is no snow or ice in the charging port
• Check that no water has built up in the charging port
• Do not plug in or unplug the charging cable plug with wet hands. Also, do not get the charging cable plug or electrical receptacle wet.
• Do not touch the charging connector's end terminals or short them with foreign objects.
• When the charging cable is not in use, store it in a location free from moisture.
• Do not pull, twist or bend the charging cable.
• Do not touch the charging port’s end terminals with sharp metallic objects, such as wire, needles, and so forth.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to an appropriate out- door receptacle with a “While-in-use” cover.
Also, if rain falls during charging, take care that rainwater does not run
along the length of cable and wet the electrical receptacle.
• If the electrical receptacle is submerged in water or covered in snow, do not insert the charging cable’s plug. If, in this situation, the charging
cable plug is already plugged in and needs to be unplugged, first turn
off the breaker and then unplug the charging cable plug.
• To stop vehicle charging or if charging has been interrupted, discon- nect the charging connector from the vehicle first, before unplugging
the charging cable plug form the receptacle.
• Do not charge the vehicle during weather that may produce lightning.
• If you hear thunder while charging the vehicle, turn the breaker off with- out touching the vehicle or charging cable.

CAUTION
■Precautions for the pre-climate
Do not use pre-climate if people are in the vehicle.
Even when pre-climate is used, the temperature inside the vehicle may
become very high or very low due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Do not leave children and/or pets inside the vehicle.
●When in the sun, the temperature inside a vehicle with all its windows
closed may rise rapidly, possibly causing heat stroke or dehydration.
● When in cold weather, the temperature inside the vehicle may drop rapidly,
possibly causing hypothermia.
Both of the above cases can lead to a serious health hazard or even deat\
h.
■ Handling the traction battery
No part of the traction battery can be repaired by you or a non-Toyota techni-
cian. Never open the traction battery or perform any modifications to it. If you
find a malfunction with the battery, always contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) stays on during charging
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
(P. 91). If the error warning indicator does not turn off even when the reset
button is pressed, an electrical leakage may be occurring in the path to the
power source, or there may be a problem with the charging cable or the
charging system. In this event, stop charging immediately, remove the
charging cable and contact your Toyota dealer. An accident may occur or
damage may be inflicted if charging continues.
■ When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.

NOTICE
■
After charging
●After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging port, always
make sure to firmly lock the charging port cap by closing it until a click is
heard, and close the charging port door.
If the charging port cap or door is left open, water or foreign objects may
enter the charging port, which could lead to vehicle damage.
● Promptly unplug the charging cable plug from the electrical receptacle and
store the charging cable in a dry, clean place. The charging cable may be
damaged if stepped on.
■ Using private power generators
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unsafe.
■ Usable temperature range
●Do not charge if the outside temperatur e is below -22 °F (-30 °C), as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging may
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40 °F (-40 °C). The vehicle or charging cable
may be damaged.

When normal charging cannot be carried out
A problem has occurred during chargingRefer to the following table and carry out the appropriate correction
procedure.
SituationReasonCorrection procedure
The power indicator on
the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting
Device) does not illumi-
nate even when con-
nected to a power
source
The plug is not properly
connected to the elec-
trical receptacle.Insert the plug firmly
into the electrical
receptacle.
There is a power out-
age.Restart charging once
power has been
restored.
The circuit breaker has
activated.
Check the circuit
breaker. If there is
nothing unusual, con-
nect to another electri-
cal receptacle and
check that charging is
possible.
If charging is possible,
there is likely a prob-
lem with the first elec-
trical receptacle.
Contact your building
manager or an electri-
cian.
If charging does not commence even though the correct procedure
has been carried out, and an er ror message is shown on the multi-
information display, try the correct ion procedures listed in the table
below.
If you still cannot correct the problem, contact your Toyota dealer.

Inspecting the charging cable
Inspecting the electrical leakage detection function
Check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly
by following the procedure below.
In the unlikely event that the elec trical leakage detection function
does not operate properly, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Insert the charging cable into t he electrical receptacle of the
external power source.
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
If the error warning indicator illu-
minates when the test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device).
Turn off the error warning indicator. Charging cannot be carried out
while the error warning indicator is illuminated.
Charging can be continued by following the normal procedure. If not
charging, store the charging cable.
For safety, inspect the charging cable on a routine basis (at least
once a month).
